According to BU’s Organizational Development & Learning (OD&L), Terrier eDevelopment (TeD) is a web-based e-learning platform that allows BU staff and faculty to have instant access to online learning content, including courses, videos, e-books, audiobooks, and training documents. Registration for both virtual and in-person workshops can be found in TeD as well.
We are delighted to announce the formation of the Boston University Event Planners Group! Members come from departments all across campus.
This group was created to bring all of us together to share best practices, stay up-to-date on policies and procedures, and provide a resource for everyone to connect, network, and find support. They plan to meet on a regular basis. Please email Miranda McLean (mirandam@bu.edu) or Andrew Vigue (avigue@bu.edu) in BU Events & Conferences to be added to the Event Planners Group mailing list.
For the first kick-off meeting is on Wednesday, August 18, from 2:00-3:30 PM. The agenda includes:
The first meeting will be on Zoom, please register to attend on Eventbrite:

BU Event Planners Group second meeting on Tuesday, December 7, from 2 – 3:30 PM.
For this meeting, E&C is going to do something a bit different. Instead of a formal meeting with invited speakers and specific topics like last time, they are going to go more casual and have an open forum for discussion, questions, and sharing of information. Think of this like a virtual roundtable!
When you register, you will need to submit a question, topic, tip, or idea that will help drive our conversation. And of course during the meeting, they will open it up to even more questions or topics that you want to talk about. This is a great opportunity to meet up in a casual environment and learn from each other as we build our event planning network at BU.
Once again, this will be hosted on Zoom. Please register to attend via this link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/bu-event-planners-open-forum-registration-204084932527.
The BU Events Planners Group will devote this hour long meeting to a presentation by Christopher Robinson, Outreach & Training Coordinator from BU Disability & Access Services. Christopher is a Certified Facilitator & Accessibility consultant for the Performing Arts and an ASL/English Interpreter.

We are back! It’s time to start thinking about events again, but have you forgotten how to use 25Live over the last 16 months?
If your skills are a bit rusty and you are looking for the opportunity to ask specific questions related to using 25Live to request locations for your events, then you will want to sign up for an Ask Me Anything session with Andrew from Events & Conferences!
These sessions will give you the opportunity to ask any question you have about 25Live to help you get back into it. There will be no formal agenda and no guided training. Simply come prepared with any questions you have and Andrew will answer them. Since these sessions will be conducted over Zoom, Andrew will share his screen with you to illustrate live the answers to your questions.
Register to attend one of these sessions:
